Upcycling is a really big hobby for many people these days. Part of
that is due to the years of living under a difficult economy during the
financial crisis. But for others, it is just a fun interest they have
always enjoyed and continue to do so. There are certainly a lot of blogs
and social media posts dedicated to the practice, and thanks to
Macklemore, second hand shops are more popular than ever. At least some
of what is bought there is sure to end up as part of a project.

To get tips on how to upcycle, such as projects involving kitchen
d?cor, sometimes it is best just to look at what people have already
made. Here are ten tips from upcycled items around the web, all having
to do with kitchens.

It's amazing how creative some people may get. Imagine you have an old non-working light bulb. Most of us will simply throw it away. Some of us will probably recycle it. And only very few the best of us will turn it into something useful and amazing.

We have covered some awesome light bulb gadgets previously. Let's list them as well a few new ones here.

If for any reason you don't need your old cup for mug, there is one fun way to recycle them: create a fun lamp (or even a chandelier) using them (I am not sure how difficult it is to make this but definitely looks like fun!)

Now, we have already a nice pen chandelier which looks really funky. A pencil chandelier we are sharing today will fit a more traditional interior. In fact, I imagine it in a cozy room with nice traditional design.

This tip would be perfect for those who daily write a lot (are there people who still write with a pen instead of using a computer) or for those who used to write a lot and now need an idea on how to recycle all the pens he once used.

This pen chandelier looks really stylish and it will be a solid decoration for your dining room.
